If evolution predicts that the strong survive, then doesn't that imply that the weak die off? If so, then why do the enviros get so bent out of shape when some species die off, i.e. become extinct?

Because a) that's a really lousy description of evolution, and b) evolution, like science in general, describes what happens in nature. That in no way requires humanity to follow suit.

For example, the fact that epidemics occur in nature doesn't mean that we ought to idly sit by while diseases run rampant.

If humans enjoyed things happening according to the laws of nature, and didn't have our own ideas about how conditions could be improved, we'd still be living in caves.

The posted "article" proves that some still are.

I guess what I was trying to say is that sometimes a species dies out due to no fault of man. Humans are not the cause of every single extinction that ever happened.
